How Can I Get Emergency Dental Care Near Me?

There’s no need to suffer when experiencing a dental emergency – in fact, postponing treatment can often make your symptoms worse.

Emergency Dental Services: An Outline of Procedures

Emergency dental care is a broad term that applies to any dental treatment that quickly eases a patient’s pain or repairs a damaged tooth. In many cases, dental emergencies can lead to more serious complications if left untreated. Our emergency dentists can treat severe toothaches, provide temporary crowns, address wisdom tooth-related issues, and more. Here are some of the emergency services you’ll find at our office:

Management of oral pain and pressure sensations

Repair for cracked, chipped, fractured, or avulsed teeth

Extraction for severely damaged teeth

Restoration of tooth crowns or fillings

Orthodontic pain management

Getting Emergency Dental Care

I’m not sure if my condition is a dental emergency. Is it time to call an emergency dental office near me?

It’s important to receive urgent dental care as quickly as possible to avoid further damage to your oral health. Call our office if you’re experiencing the following conditions or symptoms:

Chipped, Broken, or Fractured Teeth

A tooth that has been chipped, broken, or fractured should be evaluated by a dentist. Broken or fractured teeth can lead to infection if left unattended. Use dental wax to cover any jagged edges of the tooth, then call our office to make an appointment.

Knocked-Out Tooth

If you’ve accidentally knocked out a tooth or several teeth, it’s important to visit a dentist as soon as possible. Gather as many pieces of the knocked-out teeth as possible, then gently rinse them with warm water. Hold teeth only by their crowns to prevent further damage.

Severe Oral Pain

Severe toothache pain or oral pressure can indicate a multitude of dental conditions. Give us a call to make an appointment if you experience an intense toothache, particularly if it’s accompanied by a fever, earache, or sense of pressure.

Oral Sensitivity

Occasional mild tooth sensitivity might not warrant emergency dental care. However, if you notice that a tooth has suddenly become sensitive, you may need to see an emergency dentist to rule out injury or infection.

Dental Decay (Cavities)

When dental decay builds up inside the teeth, cavities can form and expose the tooth root. If you suspect your oral pain is due to dental decay (cavities), call our office for emergency treatment.

Abscessed Tooth

When an infection forms at the root of a tooth, it is known as an abscess. An abscessed tooth can cause swelling around the neck, a severe toothache, and open, draining sores along the gum line. Tooth abscesses can become very serious if treatment is postponed, so see a dentist immediately if you suspect this infection.

Loose or Lost Fillings

It’s not uncommon for a tooth filling to become loose or completely dislodged, creating oral discomfort or sensitivity. See our emergency dentist for treatment if you have lost or loose fillings.

Damaged or Lost Tooth Crowns and Restorations

Breaking a crown or losing a restoration can cause more than just cosmetic problems. With broken crowns or lost restorations, the affected area is susceptible to damage. Visit our emergency dentists for a permanent or temporary solution.

Orthodontic Pain or Injury

Sometimes, wearing metal brackets and wires on your braces can result in orthodontic pain or injuries. If this happens to you, make an appointment at our emergency dental office for treatment. Our emergency dentists can help relieve your pain and stabilize your braces.

Severe Teeth Grinding

Over time, persistent teeth grinding can wear down your enamel, resulting in sensitivity and pain. Our emergency dentists can provide you with a night guard or enamel reinforcement that protects your smile.

Sinus Pressure

Persistent sinus pressure that’s accompanied by a toothache should be evaluated to rule out dental causes. You may have an impacted wisdom tooth or dental infection that is affecting your sinuses.

Is Your Dental Issue Serious?

I believe my dental health problem is serious. Should I book an appointment for emergency dental care near me or call 911?

At our practice, your dental health is our top priority. While our emergency dentists in New Haven offer a host of services, the following conditions require immediate care from your doctor or hospital emergency room:

Severe oral bleeding

Painful trauma to the head, face, jaw, or teeth

Extreme swelling around the face or gums

How Much Would an Emergency Dental Visit Cost?

Many patients are concerned about financial matters when receiving emergency dental care. When you visit our emergency dentists, you’ll receive an estimate of your total charges, which will include any necessary procedures or medications. Our emergency dentists accept most major credit cards and insurance providers for your convenience.
